There's nothing IST-worthy about #BP/int3. We don't allow kprobes
in the small handful of places in the kernel that run at CPL0 with
an invalid stack, and 32-bit kernels have used normal interrupt
gates for #BP forever.
Furthermore, we don't allow kprobes in places that have usergs while
in kernel mode, so "paranoid" is also unnecessary.

"Yet another pile of melted spectrum related updates:
- Drop native vsyscall support finally as it causes more trouble than
benefit.
- Make microcode loading more robust. There were a few issues
especially related to late loading which are now surfacing because
late loading of the IB* microcodes addressing spectre issues has
become more widely used.
- Simplify and robustify the syscall handling in the entry code
- Prevent kprobes on the entry trampoline code which lead to kernel

Since Linux v3.2, vsyscalls have been deprecated and slow. From v3.2
on, Linux had three vsyscall modes: "native", "emulate", and "none".
"emulate" is the default. All known user programs work correctly in
emulate mode, but vsyscalls turn into page faults and are emulated.
This is very slow. In "native" mode, the vsyscall page is easily
usable as an exploit gadget, but vsyscalls are a bit faster -- they
turn into normal syscalls. (This is in contrast to vDSO functions,
which can be much faster than syscalls.) In "none" mode, there are
no vsyscalls.
For all practical purposes, "native" was really just a chicken bit
in case something went wrong with the emulation. It's been over six
years, and nothing has gone wrong. Delete it.

The 2016 version of Hyper-V offers the option to operate the guest VM
per-vcpu stimer's in Direct Mode, which means the timer interupts on its
own vector rather than queueing a VMbus message. Direct Mode reduces
timer processing overhead in both the hypervisor and the guest, and
avoids having timer interrupts pollute the VMbus interrupt stream for
the synthetic NIC and storage. This patch enables Direct Mode by
default on stimer0 when running on a version of Hyper-V that supports
it.
In prep for coming support of Hyper-V on ARM64, the arch independent
portion of the code contains calls to routines that will be populated
on ARM64 but are not needed and do nothing on x86.

We can also move the CLD, SWAPGS, and the switch_to_thread_stack() call
to the interrupt_entry() helper function. As we do not want call depths
of two, convert switch_to_thread_stack() to a macro.
However, switch_to_thread_stack() has another user in entry_64_compat.S,
which currently expects it to be a function. To keep the code changes
in this patch minimal, create a wrapper function.
The switch to a macro means that there is some binary code duplication
if CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION=y is enabled. Therefore, the size reduction
differs whether CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION is enabled or not:

Moving the switch to IRQ stack from the interrupt macro to the helper
function requires some trickery: All ENTER_IRQ_STACK really cares about
is where the "original" stack -- meaning the GP registers etc. -- is
stored. Therefore, we need to offset the stored RSP value by 8 whenever
ENTER_IRQ_STACK is called from within a function. In such cases, and
after switching to the IRQ stack, we need to push the "original" return
address (i.e. the return address from the call to the interrupt entry
function) to the IRQ stack.
This trickery allows us to carve another .85k from the text size (it
would be more except for the additional unwind hints):

Josh Poimboeuf noticed the following bug:
"The paranoid exit code only restores the saved CR3 when it switches back
to the user GS. However, even in the kernel GS case, it's possible that
it needs to restore a user CR3, if for example, the paranoid exception
occurred in the syscall exit path between SWITCH_TO_USER_CR3_STACK and
SWAPGS."
Josh also confirmed via targeted testing that it's possible to hit this bug.
Fix the bug by also restoring CR3 in the paranoid_exit_no_swapgs branch.
The reason we haven't seen this bug reported by users yet is probably because
"paranoid" entry points are limited to the following cases:
idtentry double_fault do_double_fault has_error_code=1 paranoid=2
idtentry debug do_debug has_error_code=0 paranoid=1 shift_ist=DEBUG_STACK
idtentry int3 do_int3 has_error_code=0 paranoid=1 shift_ist=DEBUG_STACK
idtentry machine_check do_mce has_error_code=0 paranoid=1
Amongst those entry points only machine_check is one that will interrupt an
IRQS-off critical section asynchronously - and machine check events are rare.
The other main asynchronous entries are NMI entries, which can be very high-freq
with perf profiling, but they are special: they don't use the 'idtentry' macro but
are open coded and restore user CR3 unconditionally so don't have this bug.

... one of my suggested improvements triggered a frame pointer warning:
arch/x86/entry/entry_64.o: warning: objtool: paranoid_entry()+0x11: call without frame pointer save/setup
The warning is correct for the build-time code, but it's actually not
relevant at runtime because of paravirt patching. The paravirt swapgs
call gets replaced with either a SWAPGS instruction or NOPs at runtime.
Go back to the previous behavior by removing the ELF function annotation
for paranoid_entry() and adding an unwind hint, which effectively
silences the warning.

Previously, error_entry() and paranoid_entry() saved the GP registers
onto stack space previously allocated by its callers. Combine these two
steps in the callers, and use the generic PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS macro
for that.
This adds a significant amount ot text size. However, Ingo Molnar points
out that:
"these numbers also _very_ significantly over-represent the
extra footprint. The assumptions that resulted in
us compressing the IRQ entry code have changed very
significantly with the new x86 IRQ allocation code we
introduced in the last year:
- IRQ vectors are usually populated in tightly clustered
groups.
With our new vector allocator code the typical per CPU
allocation percentage on x86 systems is ~3 device vectors
and ~10 fixed vectors out of ~220 vectors - i.e. a very
low ~6% utilization (!). [...]
The days where we allocated a lot of vectors on every
CPU and the compression of the IRQ entry code text
mattered are over.
- Another issue is that only a small minority of vectors
is frequent enough to actually matter to cache utilization
in practice: 3-4 key IPIs and 1-2 device IRQs at most - and
those vectors tend to be tightly clustered as well into about
two groups, and are probably already on 2-3 cache lines in
practice.
For the common case of 'cache cold' IRQs it's the depth of
the call chain and the fragmentation of the resulting I$
that should be the main performance limit - not the overall
size of it.
- The CPU side cost of IRQ delivery is still very expensive
even in the best, most cached case, as in 'over a thousand
cycles'. So much stuff is done that maybe contemporary x86
IRQ entry microcode already prefetches the IDT entry and its
expected call target address."[*]

The "testb $3, CS(%rsp)" instruction in the idtentry macro does not need
modification. Previously, %rsp was manually decreased by 15*8; with
this patch, %rsp is decreased by 15 pushq instructions.

At entry userspace may have (maliciously) populated the extra registers
outside the syscall calling convention with arbitrary values that could
be useful in a speculative execution (Spectre style) attack.
Clear these registers to minimize the kernel's attack surface.
Note, this only clears the extra registers and not the unused
registers for syscalls less than 6 arguments, since those registers are
likely to be clobbered well before their values could be put to use
under speculation.
Note, Linus found that the XOR instructions can be executed with
minimized cost if interleaved with the PUSH instructions, and Ingo's
analysis found that R10 and R11 should be included in the register
clearing beyond the typical 'extra' syscall calling convention
registers.

Hyper-V supports Live Migration notification. This is supposed to be used
in conjunction with TSC emulation: when a VM is migrated to a host with
different TSC frequency for some short period the host emulates the
accesses to TSC and sends an interrupt to notify about the event. When the
guest is done updating everything it can disable TSC emulation and
everything will start working fast again.
These notifications weren't required until now as Hyper-V guests are not
supposed to use TSC as a clocksource: in Linux the TSC is even marked as
unstable on boot. Guests normally use 'tsc page' clocksource and host
updates its values on migrations automatically.
Things change when with nested virtualization: even when the PV
clocksources (kvm-clock or tsc page) are passed through to the nested
guests the TSC frequency and frequency changes need to be know..
Hyper-V Top Level Functional Specification (as of v5.0b) wrongly specifies
EAX:BIT(12) of CPUID:0x40000009 as the feature identification bit. The
right one to check is EAX:BIT(13) of CPUID:0x40000003. I was assured that
the fix in on the way.

The TS_COMPAT bit is very hot and is accessed from code paths that mostly
also touch thread_info::flags. Move it into struct thread_info to improve
cache locality.
The only reason it was in thread_struct is that there was a brief period
during which arch-specific fields were not allowed in struct thread_info.
Linus suggested further changing:
ti->status &= ~(TS_COMPAT|TS_I386_REGS_POKED);
to:
if (unlikely(ti->status & (TS_COMPAT|TS_I386_REGS_POKED)))
ti->status &= ~(TS_COMPAT|TS_I386_REGS_POKED);
on the theory that frequently dirtying the cacheline even in pure 64-bit
code that never needs to modify status hurts performance. That could be a
reasonable followup patch, but I suspect it matters less on top of this
patch.
